Vehicles do the trip in around 10 to 15 minutes. Above Rongbuk, the valley expands into a large glacial outwash plain. There is a shortcut from behind the big Chorten at the Monastery which cuts through a meadow and then past a superbly photogenic complex of ruins called Rong Chung. Until the Communist takeover, this was a thriving meditation retreat. The road climbs up through a jumble of boulders and glacial debris favoring the left side of the valley. Passing the recently rebuilt Sherab Choling Hermitage (signposted as the Guru Rinpoche Monastery) the road runs into the terminal moraine of the Rongbuk Glacier, mounds of stone and silt barricading the valley. You may see herds of deer and yak on the hillsides. It is still 30 Min from here to Base Camp. The road snakes through the moraine to reach a sandy plain.
